The aims of WABER Network
WABER is an acronym for West Africa Built Environment Research
The aim of WABER Network is to help in developing the field of construction management and built environment research in the West Africa region particularly. Apart from creating a platform for sharing and disseminating knowledge, WABER also affords a networking opportunity for the built environment community in West Africa.
After the successful 2-3 June 2009 inaugural WABER Workshop in Accra, Ghana it was decided to sustain the name WABER and have a group like a WABER Network of Academics. An annual WABER Conference and Workshop will be hosted in West Africa.
Professor Will Hughes, Dr Roine Leiringer and Dr Samuel Laryea are the main people providing the infrastructure and academic leadership for the WABER Network.
